by Jo Boyden
on May 19 2026
If you’ve ever wished you could bottle up the feeling of a spa day and bring it home, you’re in the right place! Creating a spa‑at‑home ritual is actually easier than you think, and with the right essentials, it can feel every bit as indulgent as the real thing! Think soft lighting, soothing scents, silky textures, and skin that feels instantly smoother, calmer, and more hydrated! Sound like something you need then keep reading for our step-by-step at-home spa ritual and get pampering! And yes we know, so many of us are time poor but we all deserve a little me time and this is one self-care ritual you won’t want to miss!
Step 1: Set the mood
Creating a spa-at-home ritual is about more than just skincare. It’s about slowing down, setting the mood and giving yourself permission to pause! You want to create an atmosphere that instantly helps you unwind. Dim the lights, light a candle, put on calming spa sounds, and allow yourself to fully switch off from distractions.
Step 2: Treat your face to a professional‑grade mask
No spa-at-home ritual is complete without applying a face mask! Apply it before you step into your indulgent bubble bath! And while your mask works its magic, take a few deep breaths, sip herbal tea, or simply enjoy a few quiet moments to yourself.
You can opt for a sheet mask, enzyme mask or a cream mask specific to your skin type! For gorgeously glowly, hydrated skin we LOVE the Vie Collection Mesoforce Hyaluronic Acid Vitamin Mask. This mask is your instant radiance booster. Packed with hyaluronic acid and energising vitamins, it plumps, hydrates, and brightens the skin in just minutes. It’s the perfect touch for a spa ritual that leaves your complexion glowing!
Why it’s essential:
Boosts hydration and firmness
Brightens dull, tired skin
Delivers visible results fast
What’s more, this month you can bundle the mask, with the Vie Collection Mesoforce Hydra Radiance Cream for a special duo price!
Step 3: Relax and soak away stress
Who doesn’t love a relaxing bubble bath! A warm soak not only relaxes tired muscles but also gives you a moment to pause, breathe, and reset.
The Phytomer Oligomer Well-Being Sensation Essential Minerals Relaxing Bath transforms your bath into a true wellness experience. Rich in marine minerals and trace elements, this deeply relaxing soak helps comfort the body while leaving skin feeling soft, refreshed, and beautifully nourished.
Why it’s essential:
Deeply relaxing and restorative
Replenishes the body with trace elements
Helps relieve tension and fatigue
Step 4. Polish away dullness with a silky body scrub
Exfoliation is one of the most satisfying spa treatments because it instantly leaves your skin feeling silky-soft and glowing.
Massage Pevonia’s Silky Skin Body Scrub onto skin using gentle circular motions. This luxurious scrub gently buffs away dullness and dry skin while helping to improve softness and radiance.
Why it’s essential:
Smooths and softens the skin
Improves product absorption
Leaves skin glowing and touchably silky
Step 5: Lock in moisture
No one wants to get out of the bath but it’s time to deeply nourish your body with a rich moisturiser to leave skin feeling soft, smooth, and comforted.
The Phytomer Oligomer Well-Being Sensation Moisturising Body Cream with Trace Elements delivers long-lasting hydration while wrapping the skin in luxurious comfort. Its nourishing formula helps restore softness and leaves the body feeling beautifully pampered from head to toe.
Massage it slowly into the skin for an extra relaxing moment of self-care.
Why it’s essential:
Deep hydration without heaviness
Strengthens and revitalises the skin
Leaves a soft, spa‑like finish
Step 6: Give your skin a mini facial
Now it’s time to remove the mask and apply a nourishing face oil! The oil act as an occlusive, locking in the hydration and active ingredients the mask just provided! Apply 2-3 drops of Pevonia’s De-Stress Escape Aromatic Oil into the palm of your hand and spread the oil over both hands. Breathe in the heavenly scent of four essential oils – rose, chamomile, grapefruit, and lavender as you take deep breaths. Combined with squalane and vitamin e, this soothing and indulgent face oil combats dehydration and dryness while soothing, calming and brightening skin. It also promotes an immediate feeling of increased wellbeing and total relaxation from the moment you apply it! Heaven.
Press your hands to your face and neck to distribute the oil, then use your fingers to gently spread the oils evenly. Perform a 5-10 minute massage, it will do wonders for your skin and psyche!
To take your skin to the next level you could try incorporating a gemstone facial roller into the massage routine. Want to know more about what exactly a gemstone roller is and to understand their benefits click here.
When complete, leave the oil on the skin.
Why it’s essential:
Creates a calming sensory environment
Helps reduce stress and mental fatigue
Perfect for diffusers, warm baths, or applying to pulse points
Step 7: Finish with a little foot care loving
When your feet are feeling fatigued there is nothing better than a pampering foot massage with Pevonia’s Tension Relief Gel. This cooling and uplifting, anti-inflammatory foot treatment literally alleviates tension and heaviness in an instant! And if my legs are sore and achy massaging Phytomer’s Cryotonic Soothing Leg Gel is a must too!
Remember taking time for yourself isn’t selfish, it’s essential! Even a simple at-home spa evening can help reduce stress, improve your mood, and create a sense of balance in your routine.
Self-care doesn’t need to be complicated. Sometimes, it’s as simple as warm water, calming aromas, nourishing skincare, and giving yourself permission to pause.

5 signs your skin is fatigued and how to fix it
by Jo Boyden
on Nov 12 2021
If you’re feeling fatigued then your skin will likely reflect it too. In fact, tired skin is a very common skin complaint! Luckily it can be easily corrected with a combination of lifestyle changes and topical skincare treatments! Phew.Read on as we reveal the 5 signs of a tired complexion as well as the steps you should take to fix it! The 5 signs of tired skinDullnessDehydrationUnder-eye circlesPronounced/exacerbated fine lines and wrinklesPuffiness How to fix it Cleanse your skin every evening with a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water Who doesn’t love a hot shower or bath of an evening? Thing is washing in hot water has the ability to strip your skin of its natural oils causing dehydration. If you’re suffering from fatigued skin, the best way to cleanse is therefore with lukewarm water and using a gentle cleanser free of harsh chemicals. My personal new go to is Phytomer’s new Cyfolia Organic Radiance Cleansing Cream. It’s a super-soft, velvety and creamy cleansing cream formulated with so many clever ingredients including; the formidable Cyfolia algae, revitalising seawater – oligomer, organic orange water, organic vegetal oils, rose, cedarwood, spiced pink peppercorns, and aloe vera which literally envelope the skin with a beautiful, fresh fragrance. And on application, it quite literally melts into skin to very gently (but also very effectively!) remove makeup, oil, and any impurities. Make sure you exfoliate weekly Exfoliation is a no-fail way to brighten a dull, dehydrated complexion. Proper exfoliation accelerates skin cell turnover by sloughing dead cells from the skin’s surface to reveal the new, healthy cells underneath. For dehydrated skin, we recommend avoiding gritty scrubs that could irritate the skin. Instead, opt for a gentle exfoliant like Pevonia’s Enzymo Spherides Peeling Cream. It’s a product I love to rave about and for very good reason. It combines natural fruit pineapple and papaya enzymes to gently and effectively eliminate impurities, blackheads, dead cells, and toxins and it’s so easy to use! Simply apply a thin layer to cleansed skin, wet your fingertips with warm water (this will help to ‘wake up’ the enzymes) and work the peeling cream with gentle massage movements into skin, leave on for 5 minutes and then thoroughly rinse away.Another new love of mine is Phytomer’s Cyfolia Organic Radiance Exfoliating Cream. It is amazing and does exactly what the name says! It gently exfoliates skin to reveal a truly radiant complexion! It features two organic exfoliants – argan kernels and pomegranate seeds, as well as Algae, Oligomer and Orange water that work together to immediately clear away rough and dull skin for a visibly softer, smoother and brighter complexion after every single application.Using this once a week will help you gain a brighter, smoother, clearer complexion. Trust me. Just don’t let the word ‘peel’ put you off! Use a serum rich in skin brightening Vitamin C Another tip for reviving dull skin? Adding a vitamin C serum, like Pevonia’s “C” Complexe to your skincare routine. This serum will help boost radiance, but it also has incredible anti-aging effects as it can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, enhance collagen production and help to create tighter and younger looking skin overall.Vitamin C serums offer a multitude of benefits when incorporated into both your morning and evening skincare routine. For example, by using a vitamin C serum as part of your morning skincare routine, your skin is better able to neutralise harmful free radicals that can build up throughout the day. Protect your skin’s outer layer Dull, dehydrated skin lacks water. The key is preventing water from leaving your skin by keeping its moisture barrier intact. One of the best ways to achieve this is with a topical treatment like Pevonia’s outstanding Vitaminic Concentrate. It’s a deeply nourishing, fast absorbing treatment oil which uses mandarin oil to lock in moisture and prevent transepidermal water loss. Also combining Vitamins A and E it’ll have your complexion looking beautifully brighter and rejuvenated by morning. What’s more, it has the most amazing aroma! Use a nourishing and brightening moisturiser You might love your current moisturiser but when skin is fatigued it's time to up the ante. Try Phytomer's Citadine Citylife Face & Eye Contour Sorbet Cream. Formulated in a refreshing sorbet texture and suitable for face and eye contour, this cream is just what you need to reoxygenate your tired skin. A combination of three marine sugars create the active ingredient, CITYSAFE®, to depollute, cleanse and oxygenate the skin. CITYSAFE®, along with blue and red algaes and Phytomer’s patented seawater concentrate – Oligomer®, reset skin repairing damage caused by signs of fatigue, dark spots and a dull complexion. CITYLIFE not only sweeps away toxic micro particles but provides an ultra-moisturising facial experience too! Add a facial mask to your routine While clay masks are known to absorb excess oils (so great for those with oily skin!) they also help to remove the build-up of dead skin cells that cause the skin to look lifeless and lacklustre. The Phytomer Citylife Radiance Reviving Mask combines100% natural red and white clays with the best in marine ingredients to instantly unclog pores and counter the effects of pollution, including signs of fatigue, dark spots, and dullness. After every application, the appearance of tired skin is diminished and replaced with a radiant and renewed complexion. LOVE. Don’t forget your peepers Dark circles are a very common sign of skin fatigue as well as loss of collagen around the eye area. To help stimulate collagen production and give the skin a glowing complexion make sure you use a nourishing eye cream or gel rich in hyaluronic and vitamin c. We LOVE Vie Collection’s Chrono Eyes Puffiness-Dark Circles Wrinkles Cream. A mouthful to say, but a product that does exactly what it says! It’s a beautifully fine cream enriched with moisturising ingredients to nourish the eye area while reversing puffiness, dark circles, and wrinkles! Seriously! it gives immediate gratification thanks to a pearlescent finish that instantly brightens the eye area, and it has definitely calmed my puffiness, lightened my dark circles, and even smoothed my wrinkles! Watch your water intake Yes, we all know we are supposed to be consuming a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day but did you realise that this should start as soon as you awaken from blissful slumber! Drinking approximately 2 glasses of water first thing is hands down the most ideal way to bring back your hydration levels, after all, you’ve not replenished fluid levels for a number of hours over night. Get yourself a good night’s sleep! And last but not least get some sleep! Your skin might be looking tired because you are tired! Poor sleep is proven to lead to dull, dehydrated skin! And I’ve told you many a time before how blue light emitted from our devices can also have a significant impact on our skin and our sleep cycle so make sure you put that phone down at least an hour before bed. 8 hours of blissful sleep is what you are aiming for a night! Why? Because your skin switches to regenerative mode while you sleep. If it doesn’t get enough time to complete its restorative process, skin won’t look as fresh and bright. Simple as that.
10 of the best makeup tips for tired, devitalised skin
by Jo Boyden
on Aug 04 2021
Six weeks of lockdown hasn’t been kind to my skin. Most likely due to the never-ending late nights trying to play catch up on the work I’ve missed during the day because #homeschooling. And while I do love to preach about the importance of sleep, I’m sadly now a testament to how lack of sleep can affect your skin! Eek!You see I’m religious about my daily skincare ritual, nothing is getting in the way of that! But there is only so much my beloved products can do for this dull, devitalised complexion I’m currently donning. And while there is no painting the town red at present, I am doing daily video calls with my team and hitting the local parks with my kids and their pup so putting my best face forward is still a must! Cue the miracle of makeup and the 10 game-changing tips I follow daily to wage the war on this dull, dreary skin of mine! So if like me, you’ve not managed to catch enough shut eye but still need to look fresh faced on camera, keep reading! If you can’t make it, then fake it right? 1. Don’t forget to properly prep!As I said I’m a stickler for my morning skincare ritual and you should be too! Trying to conceal tired, lack-lustre skin won’t come easy unless you have properly prepped.Firstly, dry, dull skin lacks youthful luminosity, so exfoliating is a necessity! We’re not talking daily though, just once or twice a week depending on your skin type will suffice, as too much exfoliation can be counterproductive.If your skin is a little on the sensitive side, exfoliation is still important just be sure to opt for a super gentle formula – I LOVE Pevonia’s Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser, it gently polishes your skin with its unique creamy, granular texture. But if granules scare you, I also highly recommend Phytomer’s Vegetal Exfoliant with Natural Enzymes. It’s a soft exfoliant for even the most sensitive or rosacea prone skin and uses natural enzymes to encourage cell turnover without scrubbing or irritating your skin. Washing your face in the morning is a must but make sure the water isn’t too warm! I love cleansing and then splashing my face with cold water! Not only does it wake me up but the cold-water boosts circulation and helps constrict blood vessels to temporarily tighten pores and reduce redness and puffiness too! Remember washing your face with warm to hot water will only dry out your skin as it strips away its natural oils. Boo.Finally make sure you moisturise. I love to slather my skin with my favourite serum first (my latest love is Pevonia’s Age Correction Intensifier Collagen & MyOxy Caviar, this is because it’s packed with anti-ageing and rehydrating goodness including collagen and hyaluronic acid), then next apply my moisturiser. Dehydrated skin plays a big part in making your face look dull, plus any dry patches will make foundation uneven. 2. Choose a foundation that will enhance your skin not just mask itIf your skin is dull and lacking life you want to choose a foundation with hydrating and skin brightening benefits. After all your foundation should enhance your complexion, not mask it. Change up your foundation for one formulated with hyaluronic and Vitamin A, these key ingredients will help skin appear more hydrated, plumped and healthy.ELES Cosmetics range of foundations are all formulated with these skin boosting ingredients. And for dreary, devitalized skin a sheer or satin-finish foundation will be your best bet, especially as skin tends to be drier in the cooler, winter months too.I am a huge lover of the ELES Age Defying BB Cream 20. It is a multi-tasking miracle! It literally primes, tints, nourishes, protects, blurs and evens out your skin tone for a truly, natural, flawless finish. And thanks to its skin-loving ingredients over time it helps to promote cell health, strengthen elasticity, reduce the appearance of fine lines and restore that natural glow you once donned! What’s more, you’ll feel as though you aren’t even wearing makeup!3. Use a good under-eye concealer for an instant eye liftTo hide those dark circles and puffy tired eyes, ensure you are armed with a fabulous concealer! I’m obsessed with Pevonia’s Eye Renew Conceal & De-Age Treatment at present. It honestly gives me an instant eye lift every morning! It’s an eye cream and clever concealer in one! It’s packed with amazing anti-ageing and eye nurturing ingredients, and on application dark circles and puffiness literally diminish within seconds.If you don’t need another eye cream and you are just looking for a simple concealer, try ELES’s Liquid Concealer. You won’t be disappointed!4. Brighten eyes with a waterline eyelinerInvesting in a waterline eyeliner will be a game changer for tired eyes. All you need to do is line your bottom waterline for an instantly wide-eyed effect. We promise you it’s worth the money as one swipe will truly create brighter, more awake eyes. And remember to always finish by applying lashings of mascara to your top lashes.5. Apply a little bronzerWe are all on a quest for that healthy youthful glow, especially in the winter months when it’s almost non-existent, but dusting copious amounts of bronzer all over our nose, chin, cheeks and forehead can play up fine lines and large pores as the powder sinks into them. The best way (and the most flattering!) is to apply your bronzer with a bronzer brush to the perimeter of your face in the shape of a number three. Start on your forehead near your temples and loop down to the tops of your cheekbones, then curve out and around again along your jaw.6. Illuminate your face with a highlighterIf your skin is dull you need a little dose of liquid glow in the shape of an illuminator or highlighter! Apply to the tops of your cheekbones, brow bones and Cupid’s bow for a natural glow that will leave you looking rejuvenated and refreshed. Try ELES Stick Illuminator. I personally can’t get enough of it!7. Make sure you use a blushJust a few swipes of blush will not only add colour and depth to your cheeks but can make your entire complexion look healthier, and your skin more youthful. It adds an extra glow that bronzer and highlighter just can't mimic. Just be sure to apply it correctly - use a blush brush and lift colour upwards towards your temple from the apple of your cheek. I’ve been using the ELES Baked Blush for years now and just love its pigmented colour, easy application and the healthy-looking finish it gives me.8. Distract from tired eyes by accentuating your poutIf no amount of concealer seems to be hiding those dark circles then it’s time to distract from tired eyes! To take attention away use a pop of colour on your pout! Every day I use the ELES Gel Lipliner to line and add definition to my lips and follow with a swipe of my favourite shade of ELES Colour Balm. It combines the payoff of a sheer lipstick with the superior shine of a gloss and I love how hydrating it is for my lips.9. Fake full browsCreating the perfect brows can completely transform your face and make you look 10 years younger, you just need to know how. You want to create instantly fake fullness and to do this you need to fill brows in with the perfect brow pencil! Just be sure you don’t overfill the front part of your brow though! This area should have soft hair that graduates into more density. If you overfill this area you can make your eye brows look way too harsh. Read more on how to create perfect brows.10. Finally get a little more shut-eye IF you canWhile this is an impossibility for me at the moment, I’m hoping it won’t be for the majority of you! As I’ve said many a time before not enough shut-eye can have serious ramifications on our skin! We need to think of sleep as an essential step in our daily skincare routine. Not only will plenty of shut-eye let skin cells regenerate overnight, it will also help prevent dark under-eye circles which make us ALL look tired and older than our years. And we know, no one is choosing to be sleep deprived, the stresses of everyday life can seriously prevent us from getting the amount of sleep we crave, but if it’s possible to try and get our heads down at a reasonable time and try to stick to it nightly, it’ll improve quality of sleep and in turn have a positive impact on our complexion too!
